I`ve just rang Virgin Atlantic as a check as what I was told earlier conflicted with what had been said on the tv news.
It appears that the lady I originally spoke to had given me false information....what a plonker!!! Manchester Airport is NOT open as usual tomorrow.

I am now in the process of sorting out my revised flights...would you believe it....we were cut off half way through my latest call and I`ve now been hanging on the darned phone for 30 mins. waiting to get through again!
